British Airways, others offer Nigerians cheaper tickets
Legit.ng also reported that following complaints of high airfares for international travel by Nigerians, major foreign airlines have heeded the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority's (NCAA) directive to open their lower inventory tickets, which had been locked for several months.
Nigerians have been made to pay higher fares for international trips than other African countries because only higher inventory tickets were open in Nigeria, while cheaper inventories were blocked.
NCAA had expressed displeasure over foreign airlines' discriminatory practices against Nigerian travellers and set up a three-day meeting with airlines operating the Nigerian route.
